The Sayaji Sarovar (Ajwa Dam) : It is an earthen dam that was built early 20th century by the ruler of Vadodara, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III. Its main aim was to provide water to residents of Vadodara. Its construction was started in 1885 & completed in 1890. Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan Water Supply Project The dam is about 5 km long. It can store water to the height of 211 feet above the mean sea level (its overflow level) . The floor of the reservoir is at around 196 feet. It is connected to the Viswamitri river which flows through the city of Baroda, so that excess water in event of floods is dispatched to this river. The reservoir has 62 gates. The engineer of the dam was Jagannath Sadashiva Hate, also known as Shri Jagannath Sadashivji. When the reservoir is full, it is supposed to have a catchment area of something close to 195 square kilometers. Constructed in 1892 across river Surya, a tributary of river Vishwamitri., very old earthen dam, required to strengthen to fill up to full capacity. Sayaji Sarovar- 62 Gates Pratappura Dam:Constructed across Vishwamitri River in 1929-30 as the storage of Sayaji Sarovar (Ajwa) Water Filtration Plants : Sayaji Sarovar water is supplied by gravitational system, filtered by water filtration plants one of 45 MLD and two plants of 50 MLD capacity with total capacity of 145 MLD at Nimeta.At Nimeta the water from the mains is diverted to the filtration plants at Nimeta and then to city under gravity. The filtered water transmission system consists of two 750mm diameter gravity Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan Water Supply Project mains, one of HS and other of CI. The total length is 21 km from the reservoir to Vadodara.

  • Resettlement in Narmada River Basin Evolution of Resettlement Policy in India
    Resettlement in Narmada River Basin Evolution of Resettlement Policy in India Uday Shelat Professor, Department of Architecture and Planning The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India Abstract The present paper examines the problems of resettlement of people affected by a large-scale water resource development project in India. At present there is no resettlement policy at the national level, but the Government of Gujarat has evolved resettlement policies for the Saradar Sarovar Project on the river Narmada. The attempt has been made to look into the policies, strategies and implementation process i.e., efforts made by the state government to resettle the project-affected people in the new habitats. Finally, the paper depicts recommendations and suggestions to strengthen the resettlement process. Introduction India after independence embarked on an ambitious programme of economic development. Nation faced twin problems of unemployment and poverty to begin with. The land was rich with diverse natural resources but was unharnessed. The crucial task was to channelize these resources- land, water, minerals, forests, and sea wealth so as to transform them into productive wealth for the people. India has unique geographic situation where arable land is spread out stretching from Kutch to Brahmputra valley and from Deccan trap to plains of Punjab, while bulk of surface water sources are concentrated in about dozen river basins; and 80% of surface water is available only in monsoon months which flows down the sea if not impounded. Therefore neither water nor land is utilised optimally, depriving the country of their full benefits. The Saradar Sarovar Project (SSP) on river Narmada was conceived keeping these potentials.

Change detection is the process of identifying differences in the state of an object or phenomenon by observing it at different times. Coastal changes are attracting more focus since they are important environmental indicators that directly impact coastal economic development and land management. Both natural and anthropogenic processes along the coast control the erosion, and accretion activities of the coastal zones The study quantifies the changes along the Coast between Narmada and Kim River of South Gujarat, India by using geospatial techniques. The analysis of the multi-temporal remote sensing data shows that the coast is subject to important changes during years between 1978-2011 time interval including erosion and accretion. The study also demonstrates the applicability and efficacy of geospatial technique for quantitative assessment and monitoring of the coastal environment. Key Words: Quantitative, Erosion, Accretion, Coastal Region, Geospatial INTRODUCTION Coastal zone is the transition area between land and ocean Aidy et al., (2007) and is an area of complex, dynamic and delicate environment.

In the Hydrographic Service spread over the region of Friuli-Venezia present study the hydro-meteorological data of Dhadhar river Giulia by the Spearman‟s test with the aim of determining a basin have been analysed in detail for the presence of any non- possible trend. stationarity like changes in mean, presence of short and long term dependence and presence of trend etc.

During this period, the TISS developed baseline data on social, demographic, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of individuals, families and communities in 33 villages in Akkalkuwa and Akrani tehsils of Dhule (now Nandurbar) district, and tracked changes in the habitat and life conditions of people shifted from Manibeli, Dhankhedi, and Chimalkhedi villages to Parveta (one of the earliest resettlement sites in Gujarat). While TISS moved out of its monitoring and evaluation role in 1994, it continued to track the progress made on various aspects of the SSP. Dam height has been steadily increasing and reached 121.92 m in October 2006; the final and pending phase of installing radial gates will take the dam height to 138.68 m.
